Door Selector builds doors and sales
»»
THE SAFEDOORS DOOR Selector feature that appears on the company ’ s website has become an instant success with its trade customers , with more than 80 % of all orders now received through the system , such is its ease of use .
Designed to take trade customers through the enormous number of options available from Safedoors , but in a way that simplifies the process whilst allowing control and in a relaxed environment , it has been an instant success .
Simplicity is the key : a simple log on also offers the option of showing prices or not , thus extending the use of Door Selector as a tool to allow homeowner customers to style their door , even with the facility to model their choices against an image of their home scanned in during the process . Choose side lights , door panel , external and internal colours , glass options , hardware – all possible options with the price shown instantly , if required , at the end of the process . Print or send the quotation and if the customer likes what you show them , send the order to the factory .
Safedoors Marketing Manager , Alan Calverley , commented : “ A great website and a price engine are absolutely necessary .”

Pink and blue ?

PASTEL PINK AND BLUE may be the traditional colours for little girls and boys , but when they were specified for the windows and doors , plus some round windows , for the new Mulberry Bush Nursery in Bury , the result was anything but traditional .
That was no problem for Grosvenor Windows because , having its own in-house spray shop and working with trade fabricator The Glazerite UK Group Limited , the Bolton-based installer was able to come up with the exact RAL colours , plus 7016 Grey , as well as round frames with Fully Reversible function , all based on the acclaimed VEKA Matrix 70mm profile .
The result may look a lot of fun but getting the specification exactly right was a serious matter , according to Grosvenor contract manager Lauren Wilcox : “ We pot-tested all the paints to make sure of a perfect colour match . Wind loading calculations were needed for a first-floor balcony with 2,200mm high glass panels , the glass was 6mm toughened to withstand impact and of course all opening windows had restrictors , including the round Fully Reversibles .”
The unit is the fifth Mulberry Bush Nursery but the group ’ s first new-build .
